Handmade Fair Trade Gifts

Fair Trade is one of the coolest ways to put your money where your mouth is ;) The Fair Trade Community provides a way for impoverished people (often women and children) to develop skills and earn a living.  Fair trade is a very sustainable method to protect the rights and earning capabilities for people that need it most.  By purchasing Fair Trade items, you not only support your local businesses, you also support a way of life for those living without.

There are many different groups participating in Fair Trade programs.  Some of the groups represented in our Gift Shop at Dee-sign Garden Center are:

OM Gallery
Global Crafts
Project Lydia
Global Groove Life
Thaivillage

All of these groups are members of what is called the 'Fair Trade Federation'

Uniqe Handmade Gifts

Fair trade items are perfect for gifts, sustainable living, and even home decor. Many materials used to make Fair Trade Items are recycled and/or repurposed.  It's like winning times three!  Sustaining and improving Human Lives, recycling and re-using, and supporting your Local Small Business.
